Luke 2 – Life’s Not Fair
PHall | November 27, 2009
Life’s unfair. No matter how you look at it, life’s unfair. Despite my believing in God, still life’s not fair. Let me say it again – Life’s unfair. To prove my point, let’s look at Luke 2. Joseph had to return to Bethlehem for the census (Luke 2:3). The rule to return to your “own […]
1 Chronicles 5:1-2 – The First Born Surprise
PHall | October 31, 2009
I like reading biblical genealogies – they make for quick reading! The eyes just skim over names that the tongue would stumble over, so why slow down? The mind prepares itself for some numbing reading, eyes glaze over, brain disengaged…. Then bam! The brain kicks in because the eyes saw something other than just a […]
Hebrews 13 – Text and Notes
PHall | October 26, 2009
Practical Relational Christianity: Love – for Spiritual Family 1 Let love of the brethren [i.e., believers or believers they know] [philadelphia] continue [present imperative]. Hospitality – to Anyone 2 Do not neglect [negative present imperative] to show hospitality [lit., love of strangers] to strangers [i.e. unbelievers or believers they do not know], for by this […]
Hebrews 12 – Text and Notes
PHall | October 26, 2009
Heb.13:22 – Exhortations: 2:1-4; 3:7-4:16; 5:11-6:12; 10:19-39; and 12:1-13:22 How To Succeed (vv.1-3) Find Strength in Success of Others of Faith Free Yourself from Obstacles Against Faith Focus on Jesus the Originator of Faith 1 Therefore [back to chapter 11], since we have so great a cloud of witnesses [ch.11] surrounding us, let […]
Hebrews 11:4 – Gifts
PHall | October 26, 2009
Notice “gifts” is plural – did Abel offer more than just an animal sacrifice, and all his gifts were accepted because he offered the best? That is what is hinted at in the original text (Gen.4). Or is “gifts” referring to his all the animals he brought? Or if his faith counted as one of […]
Hebrews 11:4 – Cain and Abel
PHall | October 26, 2009
An intriguing side-note, if indeed Cain was the first-born (and there is no reason to doubt otherwise), is that very few first-born sons in Genesis fared well: Cain/Abel; Ishmael/Isaac; Esau/Jacob; Reuban/11 brothers; and Manassah/Ephraim.
Hebrews 11:3 – Word of God
PHall | October 26, 2009
How powerful is the word of God? By it the worlds were prepared. Read Genesis 1 and be in awe of the reaction to, God said. This same God made promises that He kept and keeps. We can have confidence in this God, that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him
Hebrews 11:3 – We
PHall | October 26, 2009
This small seemingly insignificant pronoun is profoundly important. The Hebrew writer generically references the men of old gaining approval through faith. He also makes a manifest of Patriarchal and Jewish Heroes. In between he mentions, we. This included the saints he wrote to with the heroes of faith. We had already experienced the faith necessary […]
Hebrews 11:1 – Unseen
PHall | October 26, 2009
Some ironies of faith: Faith is both the assurance of that which is unseen in God, and the display of that which is unseen in me. It is by faith that the unseen is proved as if seen (vv.13,27) Hebrews 11:13,27 13 All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them […]
